<p>The current implementation keeps an array of integer objects for all integers
between <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-5</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">256</span></code>, when you create an int in that range you actually
just get back a reference to the existing object. So it should be possible to
